Split the Dealer – Capsize
Here’s an artist who has been in every one of our Top 20 listings of the year so far and he’s likely to do that again this year judging by this new single.
It’s another brilliant recording and is the first since he announced his signing to Wolves Records, a record label set up by Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.
We’ve loved all of Split the Dealer’s releases to date, but this single does feel like the start of big things.
Let’s hope it is, as it would be well deserved – https://beacons.ai/splitthedealer
One Last Day – Stay Away From Me
It’s another artist from the local area that is progressing and getting known further afield.
We’ve featured this Bracknell-based band already this year but this single is definitely worthy of getting them featured again. It’s another slice of well played powerful but melodic rock.
The band are touring throughout the UK in spring and summer including a Reading date on July 22 at Facebar and an appearance at Wokingham Festival on August 28 – https://linktr.ee/onelastday
Ghost Dance – Down to the Wire
We go back in time now to the late 1980s with an anthem from gothic rock band Ghost Dance.
The band split not long after the release of the album from which this is taken, Stop the World.
They reformed in 2019 and have a brand-new album coming out next month.
They will be visiting Reading on May 4 to play the Facebar at a Club Velocity / New Mind Promotions show – https://ghost-dance.co.uk/
Deva St. John – The Curse
Deva just released her debut EP, Nauseous Ad Nauseum from which this is taken and it’s no surprise that every song is excellent.

It’s the new single from Elucidate, a Reading-based Alt-Rock band, and it’s an exciting song with a driving rhythm section, great riff, and energetic emotive vocals.
